This new entry in the ongoing Sci-Fi franchise is definitely one of the best. If you are not familar with the "Predator" films or not a fan of the genre, don't bother reading any further. But if you are curious about this one, read on....
The film resets the franchise by introducing a young Predator warrior, who after a dangerous confrontation with his father, sets out on his first hunt to claim his rightful place in his clan. His journey brings him to an extremely desolate planet where just about everything can kill you.
Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi stars as Dek, the young Predator and Elle Fanning in a dual role as Thia and Tessa, "synthetics" from Weylnd-Yutani Corporation. It co-stars Mike Homik as Kwei, Dek's older brother, Reuben de Jong as Njohrr, Dek's father and Rohinal Narayan As "Bud". Matt and Ross Duffer have vocal cameos as the voice of Kwei's spaceship computer.
When Dek first encounters Thia, she has been split in two and she convinces him that she can help so he carries her upper body on his journey. The two have great chemistry and make quite the pair. Their verbal sparring is quite funny as they form a bond, which is a new experience for the solitary hunter.
Director Dan Trachtenberg mixes CGI with old fashioned makeup and costumes to create very realistic characters and an incredible visual landscape. It all makes for a fun escapist adventure and the end promises a likely sequel.
